Well, if they could breed they'd probably just breed baseline humans as all that SPEHS MEHREEN stuff is added later on
Though I think the genetic modifications just generally rendered them sterile.
well the idea would be that the emperor could create civilizations using space marines if he elected to create females
Well... it's grimdark, so baseline humans + their legion's geneseed flaw with none of the advantages <:smugon:512048583806025739>
i mean i cant imagine why he wouldnt do that tbh unless it was just impossible
yeah
Well... there is no reason they can't just breed prime candidates
Other then that cloning = bad
Because Emps loves humanity
there is an anime aspect to it though
SPEHS MEHREENS are not humanity, they are the weapons of humanity
"look at this kids dramatic backstory where hes all like loyal/tortured/determined" or something
After all, he might have had a plan to turn the legions on each other once they conquered the galaxy
Well in numerous counts of heretics attempting to recreate SPESS MAREHNS has failed absolutely horribly. The genetic complexity never allowed for any self replication, also known as _fucking_
probably harder to set that up with clones
And when they tried to make a model that could do it, it was either dead, or sucked
Or was just a chaos space marine, which doesn't count
wouldnt be surprised if it one day turned out to be related to warp fuckery in some way
They are closer to being manufactured then anything and thus cannot naturally breed
Makes sense to me
well everything is warp fuckery technically
If it isn't warp fuckery, it's tyranids.
but i mean in some more involved way that isnt led on in some way
Tyranigs
The way to recreate a SPEHS MEHREEN is, well, unpleasant. Chaos has daemonculabas and they're top tier nightmare fuel gore.
Tyranids would have a better chance at making a space marine that could reproduce, but you don't want that outcome
Cloning even works on primarchs
hey does anyone of you remember the book Carl promoted? The one about cult behaviour?
There've been a couple
"wrong way home" or something wasnt it?
Though Fabulous Bile only tried Horus and Ferrus and Horus has no soul because Emps made sure to stomp on that shit, while Ferrus kept being furiously loyal so they had to put him down <:smugon:512048583806025739>
Space marine reproduction isn't even important just let chapters be not capped at 1k
>implying they respect that
Black templar master race
Not gonna change until the god emperor is reanimated.
one idea for not letting them reproduce might be the heirarchy that the emperor wants
The Emperor is dead son
> Not wanting regular humans to be replaced by not humans that are SM
S&M!? No, we don't want to be replaced by Dark Eldar!
They will not replace us!
